That's why I did, well, more for the outfits. But soon you will want to purchase one of these.

ahem...GOLF: Girls own little faygs (like you.

No, "golf" is not an acronym for "gentlemen only, ladies forbidden."
Like most modern words, the word "golf" derives from older languages and dialects. In this case, the languages in question are medieval Dutch and old Scots.
The medieval Dutch word "kolf" or "kolve" meant "club." It is believed that word passed to the Scots, whose old Scots dialect transformed the word into "golve," "gowl" or "gouf."
By the 16th Century, the word "golf" had emerged.
